Radeon Omega Drivers 3.8.291 (Cat 6.9)

***Omegadrive*** · Oct 7, 2006, 10:06 AM

What's New in Omega Drivers?
v3.8.291
[*] Based on the Catalyst 6.9 Official drivers.
[*] Soft mods are now supplied by Tech Power Up.
[*] Updated to Multires 1.58

Known Issues:
1) From Cat 6.6 and up ATI removed driver-level support for the following series of cards (including Mobility models): 7000, 7200, 7500, 8500, 9000, 9200, 9250. Since the Omega Drivers use ATI drivers as a base, that means they will also not include support for these chipsets, they may install, but the PC may give you a BSOD or a black screen upon boot.

What's new for ATI Tray Tools?
1.2.6.930
[+] Added configuration dialog for Overdrive 3. You can use it if you don't want to overclock your board on low level or if you have a problem with low level overclocking. Remember this option will be active only if your video board support Overdrive version 3 and ATI HotKey poller service is started.
[+] Added overclocking support for X1300/X1600/X1800/X1900. Memory overclocking for X1300 doesn't work in this release. Also remember that you must disable ATI HotKey poller if your board can operate in 2D/3D mode or your clocks always will be resets to ATI default clocks. Try do not overclock your board while any 3D games are active. Do it before launching game via game profiles it is a safest way.
[*] Updated color correction hotkeys, to support new color correction formula
[*] Updated 3D renderer and benchmark module.
[F] Fixed situation when 3D renderer shows artifacts after using benchmark module.
[+] Added support for Avivo Colors correction. Hue/Saturation will only work on R5xx video boards. There are no way to activate them for old video board, so do not ask me about it.
[*] Updated auto FAN control functionality for R5xx boards.
[*] Updated system information module. Added basic information about Overdrive support.
[F] Fixed broken OSD functionality for Direct3D8 games and applications.
[F] Fixed detection of current 3D profile with no GI option included
[*] Now Shared memory information about FreeVideo and Texture memory will be updated only if 3D game or application is active and OSD enabled.
[*] Updated FlashOSD module. Added voltages information for X1xxx video boards and ASUS Video boards with FinTEK sensor (like 9600XT/9800XT)
[F] Fixed rendering procedure in FlashOSD module for some of non-alpabetical characters.
[F] Fixed bug when "Scale image to panel size" option doesn't work in certain situations.
[+] Updated support for HDTV modes. Added a few new modes. Only supported modes can be adjusted. Note some modes can be disabled in certain situation, such as display rotation
[+] Added support for "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option in Display module. If supported by LCD or DFP display.
[F] Fixed bug with hotkey for decreasing contrast in color correction procedure.
[+] Added GPU and Memory Voltage control procedure for X1600/X1800/X19xx (if supported by hardware)
[*] Monitoring Graphs window now will be automatically reopened after suspend mode if it was active before entering into Suspend mode.
[+] Added option to Force TV Detection.If you are using an older TV or one that has non-standard inputs that may not be automatically detected, use Force TV Detection.
[+] Added test support for X1300/X1600/X1800/X19xx Radeon video boards into TV Out/Display module.
[*] Improved TV Out support for mobility chips. ATT has partial support for mobility chips, so do not expect a lot

[*] Updated Core names database. Added information about RV570/RV535 chips.
[+] Added option to automatically shutdown "ATI HotKey Poller" for R5xx board. If you want to use overclocking functions in ATI Tray Tools for those video boards, you must always disable "ATI HotKey Poller" service to prevent from resetting clocks and voltages to default state.
[F] Fixed FlashOSD functionality corrected wrongly shown GPU/Memory speed for R5xx video board in 3D mode.
[+] Added localization support. Big thanks to all who helped to translate ATI Tray Tools into other languages.
[+] Added new command line parameters:
/LDSD - Load "Default Single Display" profile
/EXD - Turn Extended Desktop On/Off
[+] Added an ability to skip overclocking at start up. Just press left CTRL button while windows is loading.

Download on my site as usual and remember to get the WDM drivers from bottom of the download page if you have a VIVO capable card.

Enjoy!

WTF?.. i'm still getting that zip error (screenshot above). Sigh..

Aurahead · Oct 7, 2006, 02:38 PM

Anyone know why I get problem wot overclock when I disable ATI Poll?
Its freeze when I overclock. But when I have ATI Poll enable it goes fine to overclock. But ATI Poll reset to 2D clock right?

Iam using ATI Overdrive 3, working fine but I think I get better result with Overclocking Settings.

***Omegadrive*** · Oct 7, 2006, 07:50 PM

Guys, try downloading from any of the other mirrors, the site is being hammered, sorry.

Aurahead · Oct 7, 2006, 07:56 PM

Omega, do you know why ATI HotKey Poller are wierd to me? When I disable it I have trouble to overclock, I can do that sometimes and awhile it hang ut system. But I get great bench. But when I have enable I overclock but it reset to default because ATI Poller are enable. But overclock fine, but I dont get as good bench as disable ATI Poller. Iam using Overdrive 3 right now. it says 500/600 and request on the mhz I request do it turn to that when I play game? like 700/800? Sorry for my bad english.

lpzml · Oct 7, 2006, 08:13 PM

good job Omega hey do i need to install cat 6.9 after for crossfire to work still thanks

kgb · Oct 7, 2006, 08:47 PM

As the offical 6.9's do not have the Agp x1650 supported yet (wouldn't let me install)
Did you by chance add support for this card? Just thought I'd check

Thanks

No idea, I always have it disabled cause I manually OC my card in BIOS and that thing kept resetting my speed values when entering games. Actually, I still have that problem and haven't found a solution, even with all the ATI stuff disabled and the speed set in bios (648/801), sometimes the card resets to the factory values (500/600), really weird.

JCOTV64 · Oct 7, 2006, 11:25 PM

how about performance?, it's like the official that were not so good?

Hmm... I have been testing Overdrive3 and I have to say, its kinda cool and easy to use.
Iam waiting for my new Board and Memory for my E6600. But with this rigg I have now, with last Omega I manage to score with 3D Mark05 - 13173. But with these new Omega 3DMark05 - 13363. So there is a bit better

Will try on games and se if its better. And hopefully next week with new board and memory.

I keep getting the "detect new hardware wizard" on start-up and my card is not recognized in device manager. Any idea how to fix this?

If I was having this problem, I'd boot into Safemode and do a manual Update Drivers there.

Aurahead · Oct 8, 2006, 02:36 AM

bobytomorow go to Omegadriver site and download
LATEST WDM DRIVERS, NEEDED FOR VIVO AND AIW CARDS: (3.99MB)
it will fix it. I have that problem everytime I install new OmgeDriver because if you have VIVO card I think you need that update to.

I get some improve performance on Cs: Source and HL2: Lost Coast.
HL2 Lost Coast: Before 95fps now 137fps with some tweaks and everything on high with HDR on 1280x1024.
Source before I had 254fps on fps_max 300 and now 291fps on fps_max 300 everything on high and max everything on 1024x768
